Malaysian Emerald Crossback Arowana Scleropages Formosus 20cm

Overview: The Malaysian Emerald Crossback Arowana is a stunning freshwater fish, highly coveted for its vivid, metallic green scales that shimmer under light, creating a mesmerizing effect. It is a symbol of wealth and prosperity in many cultures, making it a prized addition to any aquarium.

Origin: This exquisite species originates from the rivers and freshwater bodies of Malaysia. It thrives in a habitat that mimics its natural environment, with clean, soft-acidic water.

Feeding: A carnivorous species, the Malaysian Emerald Crossback Arowana prefers a diet of live feed such as small fish, shrimp, and occasionally, insects. However, they can be trained to accept frozen or pellet foods as part of a balanced diet.

Tank Mates: Choosing tank mates for this Arowana should be done with care due to its size and predatory nature. Compatible species include large, peaceful fish that can hold their own, such as certain catfish, large characins, and other arowanas. Avoid small fish that could be seen as prey.

Aggression: This species exhibits a territorial demeanor, especially towards other arowanas or similarly shaped fish. A spacious tank is essential to minimize aggression, providing each fish with ample space to establish its territory.

Experience Level: Due to its specific care requirements and potential size, the Malaysian Emerald Crossback Arowana is best suited for the experienced aquarist who can cater to its needs.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 75°F to 86°F (24°C to 30°C)
  • pH: 5.0 to 7.0
  • Hardness: 1 to 10 dGH

A well-maintained tank with plenty of space (at least 250 gallons for an adult) and proper filtration is crucial to keep these majestic fish healthy and vibrant. Regular water changes and monitoring of water conditions are essential to maintain the ideal environment for your Arowana.

Embrace the beauty and elegance of the Malaysian Emerald Crossback Arowana and add a touch of luxury to your aquatic collection.
